Superconducting quantum symmetries in extended single-band 1-dimensional Hubbard models are shown to originate from the classical (pseudo-)spin SO(4) symmetry of a class of models of which the standard Hubbard model is a special case.…
In a project with Gordon Semenoff on 1+1 dimensional QCD many years ago (when he was my postdoc advisor), we stumbled over a method to solve Calogero-Moser-Sutherland models using gauge theories. Since then, these models have reappeared in…
N=2 supersymmetric field theories in two dimensions have been extensively studied in the last few years. Many of their properties can be determined along the whole renormalization group flow, like their coupling dependence and soliton…
We study the supersymmetric extension of the Faddeev model in four dimensions. The Faddeev model contains three dimensional soliton solutions and we are interested in how these solitons are affected by supersymmetry. We consider both the…
We show that a categorical generalization of the the Poincar\'e symmetry which is based on the n-crossed modules becomes natural and simple when n=3 and that the corresponding 3-form and 4-form gauge fields have to be a Dirac spinor and a…
We present a systematic account of supergravity theories in which the global scaling symmetry is gauged. This generalizes the standard gaugings of non-abelian off-shell symmetries. A particular feature of these theories is an additional…
It is shown that the superalgebra of observables of the rational Calogero model based on the root system of I_2(n) type possesses [(n+1)/2] supertraces. Model with three-particle interaction based on the root system G_2 belongs to this…
We present a class of three-dimensional quantum field theories whose ordinary global symmetries mix with higher-form symmetries to form a continuous 2-group. All these models can be obtained by performing a gauging procedure in a parent…
Free Lagrangians are found both for gauge and non-gauge bosonic conformal fields of any symmetry type and in any space-time dimension. Conformal gauge fields of various types, their gauge transformations and gauge invariant field strengths…
Supersymmetric CPN models based on underlying bosonic Kahler manifolds have not been thought to arise directly from constrained linear ones. A counterexample for N=4 is presented using improved understanding of membranes in superstring…
We consider soliton solutions in AdS$_{4}$ with a flat slicing and Wilson loops around one cycle. We study the phase structure and find the ground state and identify supersymmetric solutions as a function of the Wilson loops. We work in the…
We construct integrable generalizations of the elliptic Calogero-Sutherland-Moser model of particles with spin, involving noncommutative spin interactions. The spin coupling potential is a modular function and, generically, breaks the…
I show that the classical Toda models built on superalgebras, and obtained from a reduction with respect to an $Sl(2)$ algebra, are "linearly supersymmetrizable" (by adding spin 1/2 fields) if and only if the $Sl(2)$ is the bosonic part of…
We consider a general N=(2,2) non-linear sigma-model in (2,2) superspace. Depending on the details of the complex structures involved, an off-shell description can be given in terms of chiral, twisted chiral and semi-chiral superfields.…
We describe several families of primary linear supermultiplets coupled to three-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ conformal supergravity and use them to construct topological $BF$-type terms. We introduce conformal higher-spin gauge superfields and…
The concept of conformal field theory provides a general classification of statistical systems on two-dimensional geometries at the point of a continuous phase transition. Considering the finite-size scaling of certain special observables,…
We construct, in D=3,4,6 and 10 space-time dimensions, supersymmetric Lagrangians for free massless higher spin fields which belong to reducible representations of the Poincare group.The fermionic part of these models consists of…
We review N=(2,2) supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models in two dimensions and their relation to generalized Kahler and Calabi-Yau geometry. We illustrate this with an explicit non-trivial example.
Starting with a supersymmetric U(N)xU(N) gauge theory built in N=1 superspace, a nonsupersymmetric theory is obtained by ``twisting'' the gauginos into a different representation of the group than the gauge bosons. Despite the fact that…
We construct an N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory from z=3 Lifshitz field theory. By modifying the supersymmetry (susy) algebra based on the spacetime symmetry SO(3) $\times$ scaling symmetry, we get a supersymmetric Lagrangian with scalar,…
